Long-term hemodynamic benefit of biventricular pacing depending on coronary sinus lead position

Acute studies in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) showed that hemodynamic effects may depend on the coronary sinus (CS) lead position. However, there are no data on the longterm effect of CS lead position. In 45 heart failure patients with left bundle branch block and QRS >150 ms (age 59+/...

Zusammenfassung:Acute studies in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) showed that hemodynamic effects may depend on the coronary sinus (CS) lead position. However, there are no data on the longterm effect of CS lead position. In 45 heart failure patients with left bundle branch block and QRS >150 ms (age 59+/-10 years, 17 dilative cardiomyopathy, 23 ischemic, 5 valvular), biventricular pacemakers were implanted. CS leads were positioned in posterior (P, n=15), lateral (L, n=19) or, if no other option available, anterior (A, n=11) side branches. Before and 6 months after implantation, clinical state, echocardiography, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and right heart catheterization were evaluated. Baseline parameters were similar between groups. After 6 months, there were 32/34 responders in groups P and L compared to 7/11 responders in group A (94 vs groups P and L: Arterial pressure +8 and +9% vs +2%; PCWP -23 and -15% vs -4%, pulmonary pressure -18 and -12% vs -3% (p
